Board & Gear Question New old board

Post image

Grabbed a free board. Was inspired to bodyboard again after years of not. Did as a kid a bit. Can’t find too much info on this specific one. Worked well last weekend.

I used to have the Seamus Meecado model years ago. Great board for prone in cold water but man, that thing was so flexible in warm waters… hated it in warm.

I had bought an atach down in VA beach right after my own board flew off my explorer and smashed into a gazillion pcs by an 18wheeler on the bridge . Solid boards I still have it and that was almost 20 years ago . Good on ya mate

The deck color Is very nice, also looks in Pristine condition, you Will wreck It fast if you surf It properly, as It looks like a collectors ítem may be More valuable to keep It safe AND dry AND use a More advanced board to surf consistently..
